One would think that paying 16 bucks for a scanned book you would at least get bookmarks. How hard would that have been??? No really. Don't you have any desire to put out the best you can? I want to know the reason you couldnt put bookmarks in the pdf..

This is the definitive edition of Vampire: The Masquerade. The 1st edition certainly paved the way, but this slim hardcover was the book on the table anywhere you went within a year of its release. The glossy pages, effective black and white art, and strong focus on the gothic-punk setting thoroughly captured the magic that made Vampire the hit it became. Those of you who have only played later editions will note some major details missing from the book. The Sabbat is barely detailed (this is before the first real Sabbat guide was released). Many of the Disciplines could use a bit of balancing. The game has that sense of limitlness boundaries, and is not yet yoked to the pervasive overplot that would sell splatbooks but cripple the life of the game in the long run. A fantastic read, and entirely playable to this day. Still my go-to-edition, even with Revised, 20th, two editions of Requiem and now 5th edition existing.

In my view, this still represents White Wolf at their absolute sharpest. The rules fit more tightly than the other Old World of Darkness titles that followed, and the premise is more direct and 'high concept'. It's interior art is incredibly atmospheric (more so than the later versions) and the writing is passionate and evocative. A milestone game book for me.

To me this is the definitive WoD game book. The one and only version of Vampire (And I've played every other version before and since!) which just oozes atmosphere and style.

Grab this book, ignore the combat-mad, power-obsessed and twinky suppliments that made up the rest of the oWoD, buy this and enjoy...

Some classic moments have been had with V:tM and may well be had again soon.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: As good now as it was then. A fairly good scan (though some of the intro pages are a touch tough to read without zooming).<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Lacking viable bookmarking for no reason I can figure out.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
